    Vonado has copied my design of the Rainbow stepper and is even using my pictures and video (where they black-barred my name on the box), all without asking me for permission. I published it last year on Rebrickable with free instructions. So there seems to be a market for GBC machines and the market is being explored but unfortunately at my cost. Apart from getting recognition and compensation for using my design and footage, I would also be interested to know how much they are selling and where. Actually, if you have loose bricks from sets and can build this machine from real LEGO I think it is about the same price, it's under 1000 bricks. If you have to Bricklink it will probably be higher but you have real LEGO. I really like the marble run, domino, physics design by the way, too bad it didn't get 10.000 votes

    There is an improvement coming up from @OneMoreRobot, the current friction pin with pin hole causes too much friction at the ball entry at the wheel. I will update the instructions soon on this point, not a lot of parts involved.

    @rskamen those are 3L bars (87994). I don't know why they were not in the parts list, I've added them. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    @Ankoku thanks for sharing. Sharing without credits happens indeed all the time but it's no problem, I hope they enjoyed the build.

    If The Lego Group cannot do this, who am I as an individual with a LEGO hobby? They also offer Corner Cafe, Green Grocer etc. so I guess I'm in good company :)

    Just to let you know I've spotted my Central Perk Big Bang Theory design as a UrGe LEPIN set. I was not asked for permission and I'm NOT endorsing this set in any way and would kindly ask you to stay away from it, thank you.

    You've copied it in your quote of my message and I can't remove that :)

    Thank you all! Just to let you know my design has been stolen and cloned to a LEPIN / Mouldking set without my permission! I'm NOT endorsing this set and would kindly ask any potential buyer to stay away from it.

    ????? It has the height of Creator Expert Modular and with 2435 parts a higher brick count than Cafe Corner, Brick Bank, Detective's Office, Fire Brigade, Grand Emporium, Green Grocer and Pet Shop. These cost about 125 Euros when they were in the shops and this is a MOC so if you like the Kiosk and only pay 60 Euro in Germany I don't understand your remark ...

    Good to hear. I haven't build the fork to fork so can't comment on that. From what I have read it cannot run fast or it will drop balls.

    Good idea :) Although I had no trouble moving it to events. I also can imagine timing could be off after separation or at least needs to be checked. To write in the words of Jean Luc Picard: Make It So :)

    The instruction is free of charge so you can download to have a look? I developed the wheel for this module where it is more visible, especially at 1:40

    @rskamen Thanks. The chrome macaroni can be replaced with any other color or even brick modified with curved top 6091 and altering some more bricks at that point. You can take any steel ball with about the same diameter, typically used in ball bearings. The chrome cups can be sourced from Chinese copycats.

    It is. In the building instruction is my own picture of the real thing :)

    I finished my Copenhagen Kiosk, free building instructions, sticker sheet and parts list on Rebrickable https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-43345/Berthil/copenhagen-kiosk/

    Open in Stud.io and start making Steps from there or just hide/unhide what you want to see. Creating instructions from a design is as much work as making the design itself, effort is needed, there is no easy fix.

    Thank you all! These are genuine LEGO, from the EV3 education sets.

    My Tensegrity GBC based on the Tensegrity Sculpture by JK Brickworks. The idea was that the GBC balls will move the balanced tensegrity ramps and they do that. Free building instruction and parts list available on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-43565/Berthil/tensegrity-gbc/

    Nice! The Tan/White combination works very well, also with LBG and dark red. Nice window techniques also. Stored in my inspiration folder :)

    I've done shows with my GBCs and people are always amazed but most real good GBCs are a step too far to build themselves next to the high brick count. GBCs on LEGO Ideas don't get very far. May be because you have to see them in real life to appreciate them with all those moving parts. The contraptions designed from existing sets are fairly successful though, people have the bricks at home and easily can have a go at a GBC.

    @Rudivdk Thank you!

    The tram/streetcar diorama is coming along well. Managed to automate the tram with a Powered Up color sensor, it stops/reverses at the red tiles. Also happy it runs well through my tram depot. Red tiles seem to work best, after that white and green tiles. Link to FB as I only want to really publish when the diorama is finished. https://www.facebook.com/groups/852993074715528/permalink/3518038084877667/

    Looks good so far, good luck with your progress. Here is my similar version which has kept all the original elements like the removable floor mats etc. Free instructions so you can have a look. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-34463/Berthil/central-perk-big-bang-theory-modular/

    Thank you all! I know such a model is not to everyones taste so thanks for all the positive comments.
